Chapter 426 Everyone has a first time
On March 27, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, who had just returned to China from Huang Bo's wedding in the Maldives.
After handling the work in China, he soon followed the crew of "About Time" to California, the star flag country, and devoted himself to the filming of the movie.
During this time, the second round of publicity for "The Village Teacher" began to be in full swing again.
Crazy fans have even formed an organization called the "Association for the Study of Extraterrestrial Civilizations" on the official website.
This organization has more than 1 million members in the Star Flag Country and Huaxia.
Based on the concept art, movie special effects clips, and the first trailer provided by the official, they created a lot of movie fandom, mainly focusing on the war stories of the carbon-based federation and the silicon-based empire!
There are even some fans who are very obsessed with science fiction and have begun to organize alien cosplay activities for "The Village Teacher".
The holding of these events has made science fiction fans feel extremely curious and excited.
What exactly does an alien civilization's war look like?
Why did they destroy the Earth and the solar system?
What does an ordinary village teacher and the children he teaches have to do with aliens?
How did the earth end up being saved, or was it not saved at all?
If you want to know this, you can only wait for the official release of the movie.
In the process of fiery official activities and fan activities, the post-production of special effects for "The Country Teacher" has basically been completed.
In addition to checking and reviewing the progress of the film every week, Peng Yichen is satisfied or provides suggestions for revision.
He handed over the rest of the work to producer Blake.
At the same time, "Infernal Affairs 3", which has been scheduled to be released in May, has also entered the final stage of promotion.
"Infernal Affairs 2" was released during the Spring Festival, although the reputation is not as good as "Infernal Affairs 1", but the box office has surpassed "Infernal Affairs 1".
After all, director Zhao Zexin and the brand "Infernal Affairs" have already had a lot of influence in the Chinese market.
Even though the reputation has dropped slightly, there are more people who see it.
Therefore, the total box office of "Infernal Affairs 2" finally surpassed "Journey to the West", with a total box office of 1.18 billion, becoming the No. 1 film in the box office list of Chinese films.
Countless film and television companies are eager to recruit Zhao Zexin, wanting to poach this new "No. 1 commercial director" in China.
But Zhao Zexin was not at all moved by the requirements of other companies. Dead or alive will stay in Chenjing Film Company.
There are a lot of him, and with Peng Yichen's script, he can become popular as a director all the way.
Leaving Peng Yichen's script, although he is still a talented director, it is unknown whether he can get to this point.
With the great success of "Infernal Affairs 1" and "Infernal Affairs 2", "Infernal Affairs 3" does not need to spend much effort on publicity at all.
This movie just adopted a relatively ordinary publicity method, just let Chen Daoming, Zhao Jianguo, Hu Jun, Yu Jing and other main actors of this movie appear on the cover of magazines, accept a few interviews, and release two wonderful trailers.
Even if all the publicity work is completed, it will be waiting for the release.
Mixed with these tasks is the preparation for the filming of "Eavesdropping 1".
This is a relatively special Hong Kong-style police movie, but with Peng Yichen's script and Zhao Zexin's guidance, everyone believes that this will be another popular movie in China.
As for the filming of "About Time", Peng Yichen is all responsible for it alone.
He didn't let Chen Jing Film Company interfere too much.
Comparing this story, it all takes place in a seaside town and downtown Los Angeles, and the scenes are relatively simple, and there is no need for special effects shooting.
Therefore, the workload of set designers, prop masters, and special effects technicians is relatively small.
You don't have to spend much time setting up and making props.
There is only one wedding scene in the whole movie, and the venue needs to be built.
But it's just a matter of building a few plastic awnings and getting a big blower and a water spray truck on the side.
Therefore, Peng Yichen, who is shooting fast in the movie, is unimaginable.
……
Click, click.
In the brightly lit studio, in front of the dark background board, Peng Yichen, dressed in a black suit, sat on a round stool on high legs.
Yu Jing was wearing a fiery red dress and stood behind Peng Yichen.
The expressions of the two people are very happy and sweet, this is the longest expression on the faces of the two after Yu Jing became pregnant.
"That's it, it's handsome now. The photographer holding the camera over there was Zheng Qin, the eldest apprentice of Zhao Liansheng.
He kept pressing the shutter, clapping it with a click, and said, "Director Peng, try to have a deep look in your eyes and smile a little worse! Sister Yu, you can get closer to Director Peng." ”
Peng Yichen and Yu Jing posed as he said.
Then, the camera flash flashed again, and there was a continuous click.
Peng Yichen couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Aren't you just going to take a stereotyped photo?
Of course, he didn't dare to say it.
After all, the filmmaker this time is his wife-Yu Jing is also.
This stereotype photo is what she requested.
A woman with a child in her belly will always have a lot of inexplicable thoughts.
Now Yu Jing wants to take a few more stereotyped photos.
After taking photos in the studio, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing came to the studio again, an elegantly furnished reception room.
Interviewed by a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.
Verena, a blonde female reporter, took out a voice recorder and held a small shorthand notebook.
With a smile, he looked at the loving couple sitting opposite him on the red main sofa, and asked with a smile: "Director Peng, why did you have the idea to make this movie?" There is a legend on the Internet that your wife, Ms. Yu Jing, is pregnant, is this a movie you made for your future children?"
"Haha! That's true, this is the movie for my wife and our first child. Peng Yichen smiled happily.
When Yu Jing went to the hospital for a pregnancy test that day, she was photographed with a blurry photo.
Although the results of the examination were not taken, it was impossible for the hospital to disclose the results to the paparazzi.
But in line with the principle of not letting go of missing out, the media directly announced to the public that Yu Jing was pregnant and Peng Yichen was about to become a father.
This time they did guess correctly for a while.
Regarding the pregnancy, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing had already discussed it in private.
If a journalist asks this question, they graciously admit it.
Getting married and having children may be a very serious matter for many idol stars, but for Peng Yichen and Yu Jing, it will not cause any negative impact.
So, they don't have anything to admit badly.
Velena continued to ask after a few strokes of Peng Yichen's answer, "Then can you tell me the general content of this movie?"
Yu Jing looked at Peng Yichen happily, Peng Yichen nodded to her and asked her to introduce the movie.
"It's a film about love, family, friendship and life. tells the story of how a special boy grows into a man who can take on his family, lovers, and children. Yu Jing replied with a smile, and then said:
"Also, this is a very beautiful movie, and there is nothing in the movie that is not beautiful in terms of scenery, cities, actors, and even plots and stories. ”
Peng Yichen nodded with a smile, didn't interject, took the tea on the coffee table, and gave Yu Jing a cup.
Yu Jing looked at him sweetly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The sweetness between the two Meiyu, looking at Velina, a 36-year-old mature woman, is a little jealous of Yu Jing's good luck.
Velena's pen quickly wrote in the shorthand book, and then, she asked with a curious smile: "I noticed that Ms. Yu just said that this is a special boy's story, can you tell me what is special about this boy, or is this movie a simple comedy romance movie?"
This question still has to be answered by director Peng Yichen, who said seriously: "Whether in Huaxia or Xingqi Country, it seems that there are always people who care about what type of movie I make......
Velena interjected with a smile: "That's because each of your movies is different in genre, and most of them are anti-genre movies." ”
Peng Yichen shook his head with a smile and replied, "I just don't want to repeat myself, I like to shoot new things." ”
"So this movie shouldn't be a simple comedy romance movie, right?" Velena remembered his words and asked again, "Will we see anything special in "About Time"? Will it be like "Journey to the West", with more magical elements?"
Peng Yichen couldn't have imagined that this reporter from the Star Flag Country had actually watched his "Journey to the West", and said with a smile: "No, this movie is very close to the real world." If it's special, it's probably that the male protagonist of the movie has some kind of ability that is closer to science fiction. I can only say so much, the rest of the content needs to be watched in theaters after it is released. ”
Peng Yichen looked at Velena, who was still a little confused, and continued with a smile: "This is a simple comedy romance movie, although there are some strange elements in it, but it is just a form or a shell, don't care too much." ”
"It seems that you have a lot of faith in this movie. Velena smiled and asked, "When will fans see this movie?"
Peng Yichen did not hesitate and said the release schedule that had been set: "August 6 this year, that is, July 7 of the Chinese lunar calendar, the day of Chinese Valentine's Day." At that time, all of my "
Velena nodded, turned to look at Yu Jing again, and said, "Ms. Yu, you have never had the experience of playing a heroine in Hollywood before. So do you have confidence in your husband's first film shot in Star Flag Country?"
Yu Jing smiled heartily and said, "Velina, everyone has their first time, but it doesn't matter, I can only say that we did our best to shoot this movie." After all, this is a film for our future children. ”
